I've long been a supporter of a big infrastructure project. Don't really know specifics about Trump's plan in particular but I think it would probably be the easiest thing for him to achieve as there is bipartisan support for the idea.

I still don't understand why he didn't lead off with infrastructure as his first big legislative ticket for his administration, which is much less controversial than something like Obamacare repeal.

Tax reform, I think it will end up being less "reform" and more just normal tax cuts on a temporary basis.

New York subway is falling apart. Many highway bridges and junctions are in danger of collapse. Water security for california, nevada, new Mexico etc to protect against future drought. Flood protection for hurricane risk states.

Allows for immediate expensing for at least five years for new investments in depreciable assets other than structures purchased after Sept. 27, 2017.

Partially limits interest deductibility by C corporations. Details on the limitation are not provided.

Eliminates the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT).

Keeps the research credit and low-income housing credit. All other business credits are to be evaluated by Congress as part of the tax reform process.

Eliminates the Section 199 domestic production activities deduction and eliminates or restricts many industry-specific exclusions and deductions.

I'm just curious, if corporations (and by extension people's incomes listed as corporations, millionaires and billionaires can do this) are getting a 15% reduction, who is picking up that slack? Cos the monkey's still gotta get fed, man.

edit: Yes, Trump will be eligible to put his earnings under the new Corp Tax bracket, meaning him and his buddies will be paying at the 20% rate. Oh Trumpers...

Fair enough and I apologize there

But it seems to me this tax plan is basically at it's core a giant boon to the top 1%, corporations and the uber wealthy who can list their personal earnings/profits under corporate status and will then get a nice tax rate of only 20%. (wouldn't you like to be taxed at only 20%?)

How does that make you feel and where do you think the money's going to come from to make up that 15% loss now, as the country runs on money?
